The Lord of the Rings/Recap: Difference between revisions

The following chapters show how everything is tied up, along the way of tracking back the way home to the Shire. [[Rightful King Returns|Aragorn is crowned King]] of Gondor and marries Arwen, daughter of Elrond; Eowyn, who had [[Loving a Shadow|shown attraction]] ([[All Love Is Unrequited|unrequited]]) to him, becomes involved with Faramir as both recuperate from their wounds. By the time the hobbits have returned to the shire, their companions have returned to their own lives and they find that [[Trouble Follows You Home|Saruman has taken over their homeland in revenge]], but the foursome are able to rally the Shire due to their own [[Character Development]]. [[Karmic Death|Saruman is killed]] by [[The Dog Bites Back|his servant Gríma]], who is himself shot by hobbit archers. Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin settle down to enjoy their [[Happily Ever After]], with Sam marrying Rosie Cotton and Frodo working on completing the contents of a book bound in red leather, in which Bilbo set down an account of his adventures, which Frodo now augments with his own stories. Unfortunately, those who have been touched by the power of Sauron can have no such, and in the end, Frodo and Bilbo, together with the bearers of the Elven Rings (Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf) leave Middle-earth on an Elven ship headed for the Undying Lands of Aman, marking [[End of an Age|the end of the Third Age]]. Sam remains behind with his family and the red leather book, carrying on the knowledge and legacy of their struggles.
